How to choose
Match the agent to your stack: iPaaS-style connectors like AtomIQ for legacy ERP sync, or agent orchestrators like sim and solace-agent-mesh for AI-heavy flows. Check autonomy level—some require setup while others run unattended. Prioritize native integrations over custom workarounds and watch for platform lock-in on pricing tiers. Test event handling and error recovery first, as weak logging turns simple automations into maintenance headaches.
